I also did a quick search in our catalog from 1835-1870. I found 17 separate printings of the Haggadah, all in New York, and almost all by the Frank Press (as below), some with German, and some with English translations. This did not surprise me. One of the things I learned as a result of living first in North Carolina for five years, and then in Georgia for almost seven years, is that there wasn't much printing in the South before the end of the Civil War. A significant exception was Lutheran printing in Virginia. In North Carolina, printing for religious purposes (song sheets, etc.) existed among the Moravians in North Carolina in the 1790
's, and there was a limited amount of printing in North Carolina for state government purposes in the 19th century. The major sources of books for the South pre-1865 were Boston, New York, and Philadelphia.
